POWER STANDARD:
Draw conclusions and inferences and make generalizations and predictions from the text.
SKILLS AND PROCESSES: 6A.3.a – Use a graphic organizer or another note taking technique to record important ideas or information. 6A.4.a – Indentify and explain what is directly stated in the text. 6A.4.i – Draw conclusions and make generalizations based on the text, multiple texts, and/or prior knowledge CCSS:
RI.5.6. Analyze multiple accounts of the same event or topic, noting important similarities and differences in the point of view they represent.
RI.5.3. Explain the relationships or interactions between two or more individuals, events, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text based on specific information in the text. MTLSS:
2B.1.f Use safe and correct security procedures (such as protecting password and user ID) 3A.1.b Use teacher- selected, technology tools that enhance learning3B.1.a Use technology tools to work collaboratively within the school community
STAGE 2 – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
ASSESMENT EVIDENCE: Settlement Chart & Short Answer
STAGE 3 – LEARNING PLAN
MATERIALS: History Alive Textbook (pages 63-65) Trophies story “Across the Wide Dark Sea”
Settlement Chart

This is a virtual map to show the students where the settlements were located. VOCABULARY: Compact – agreement HOOK/MOTIVATOR: Put the Journey to America: Prediction Chart on the Elmo or projector screen. Ask the students to describe what they think the journey to America would be like. PROCEDURE:
Have the students come together and read aloud, ”Across the Wide Dark Sea” from the grade 5 Trophies book (pages _). Alternative: Have students partner read.
As they listen, have them fill out the Journey to America: Five Senses Chart.
After reading, have students partner up and compare their prediction charts with their senses chart. Have each partner group share something that they learned about the journey to America once back in whole group.
Have the students take out their settlement chart and their History Alive book.
Today the students will be reading pages 63-65.
They should find a different partner to read with. As they are reading they are to complete their settlement chart.
When the students are finished reading, they will go back to their original prediction group from the previous lesson and discuss their findings.
After the groups have finished their discussion go over the settlement chart with the entire class. Make sure the students have the correct answers for each category.
Extra Note: Make sure the students understand that everything ties together.
Then have the students take out their maps from the previous lesson and locate Plymouthon them.
Make sure at this point that the students have located each settlement on their map.
Hand out the Short Answer to all students. Read the question to the students to be sure they understand.
(Attached is an example of what a response should look like. However, keep in mind that answers may vary and this a model not the only answer.) Distance Learning Connection: On the class blog (or wikipage), students will post an image that describes one aspect of the journey to America. Be sure to share webpage and allow students to see what other classmates added. Discuss the commonalities and address any questions students may still have.
